White-headed Vultures occur singly or in pairs and are often the first to arrive at a carcass. Like the Lappet-faced Vulture they are able to eat skin, ligament and bones however, unlike the Lappet-faced Vulture they are "clean" feeders (ie they do not get blood on their feathers when they feed). The White-headed Vulture is the most-lightweight (in relation to its wingspan) of the African vultures and is therefore the most mobile and agile species. Because it is up and about early in the day, it is frequently the first to locate a carcass. Although they get to a kill first they tend to feed on scraps dropped by, or stolen from, other raptors. They take these to one side, eating them away from the main huddle. They also take stranded fish, termites and locusts when they can find them.

This photo of the White-headed vulture that Jock has posted for me, was taken at Moholoholo Wildlife Rehab centre in Klaserie. And I agree with everyone, this is quite a beautifull vulture ( if vultures can be beautifull)

I would however love to see one in Kruger.

From this photo i'd also say whiteheaded. But i think there is still a possibility for lappetfaced. If we could get more pics or a closer look on this photo- we could see if the white mantle streaks are present aswell as the bill colour? It is a bit tricky to go for whiteheaded without looking at these vitals. However the general whiteness of the bird does suggest whiteheaded. Also there seems to be a narrow white line between the flight feathers and wing coverts which definitely is characteristic of imm. whiteheadeds.
